17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of high drama as Royal Air Force (RAF) motor lifeboats rush to the aid of a distressed pilot who has crash-landed at sea. The daring rescue took place in 1932, and the RAF boats, built at the British Power Boats works in Southampton, were powered by 100 h.p. engines, enabling them to travel at an impressive speed of 26 miles per hour. The agile boats were essential for the RAF's maritime operations, providing vital support to pilots in distress and conducting search and rescue missions. The image shows the skill and bravery of the RAF crew as they navigate the choppy waters to reach the stranded pilot. The pilot, wearing his aviator's helmet and goggles, clings to the wreckage of his plane, a testament to the perilous nature of flying over the sea. The RAF motor lifeboats, with their powerful engines and streamlined design, cut through the waves with ease, providing a vital lifeline to those in need. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the vital role that the RAF played in ensuring the safety of its pilots and personnel during the early days of aviation. The boats, built with the latest technology, were a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the British engineering industry and the bravery and dedication of the RAF personnel who operated them.
